10. Making
Making is an activity that encourages students
and patrons to use the library in a new way: to
create, use, and share.
Canino-Fluit, A. (2014). School library
makerspaces: Making it up as I go. Teacher
Librarian, 41(5), 21-27.

12. Makerspace
Makerspaces are exciting new services being
offered in libraries at the school, public, and
academic level. They create an engaging
atmosphere for learning and experimentation
but they do come with their own challenges and
successes.

14. • No two makerspaces are the same
• They are not for every library or librarian
• Start small or go big it is your choice
• The decision to incorporate a makerspace
boils down to whether it is right for your
students and your community.
